The Story Of A Man
Marvin A. Hayes
About the Book
The Story Of A Man is a collection of poems that express emotions of love, pain, laughter, wisdom and self-reflection. Poetry has always been a passion of mine and it later became the avenue to express the memory of the comings and goings of my existence. This is the reason why I chose the title, “”The Story Of A Man.”” Many of the poems were written during my years in undergrad. My college years came and went; however years later I contemplated publishing them. It was then I decided to begin the journey to publish the story of my life.When thinking about the book cover and what I wanted to express to the reader, I chose to use my drawing of Muhammad Ali. Ali is one of my favourite hero’s and a poet himself. In fact the first poem in the book is about Muhammad Ali, a man with an amazing story of struggle and triumph. I selected his picture in hope of attracting the attention of readers who understand each person has an individual story. Just like Ali we all too may experience struggles, pain, and triumph. This book also includes photos that show that my life has been very full.
The photos in the book include pictures of my wife of 50yrs. Mrs. Geraldine Elaine Robinson Hayes, and our legacy which includes my two older children and our five children which makes for 30 grandchildren. I hope that each reader enjoys the poems and pictures and it encourages them to embrace the story of their own life.

and Other Quirky Tales
Daniel Wolf
About the Book
“But Is He Jewish? is divided into three sections. The first section, “Quirky Tales,” consists of fifty short stories. Although each touches upon some aspect of Jewish life and culture, they deal with such universal themes as love, mortality, courage, coming of age, and the importance of family.The following section, “Mishegas” (Yiddish for craziness), includes stand-up comedy routines, the philosophical musings of a fictitious rabbi, advice for daily living (“A Guide for the Confused”), “Eighty Questions to Ponder,” and nonsensical poetry (“Quit”).ho
The final section, “Animals with Attitudes”, features four humorous mini-plays with animals (elephants, lions, housecats, and rhinoceroses) taking on Jewish characteristics and even speaking some Yiddish (translations provided).
In all, But Is He Jewish? provides a delightful reading experience, as it addresses a variety of topics in a mostly humorous but always human manner.”

Situations Vol. 1
Love's Never Ending Beginnings
J. Gralyn Stokes
About the Book
Vol 1. is a collection of poems written between 1996 and 2010. I always had dreams of being a published author and one day having my words available to the world. Saying; “I’ll get to it tomorrow” or waiting for the perfect time wasn’t going to help me get to where I wanted to be. I had seen too many examples of how tomorrow wasn’t guaranteed. One day I woke up and put away the excuses, dedicated the summer to getting my book published. Life happens. Allowing fear to alter your focus and desire for something greater is a tragedy in itself. May this book inspire you to take the first step. Put away the excuses and stop procrastinating toward your destiny.

Crosseyed Puzzle
Michael John Silbaugh
About the Book
Crosseyed Puzzle” is 30 optical illusions that I invented over the years. It all started when I put a circle on a transparency and focused my eyes through the transparency paper until I saw two circles. This led me to the next step of drawing a face around the now two circles, which gave me the face of a bison. Then came the next step of coming up with a non-abstract picture, which looked to me like a Viking hat. Then I noticed that I didn’t have to focus my eyes through the picture to convert the Viking hat into a Bison. Instead, I could print the optical illusion on a plain paper and cross my eyes. Therefore, I came up with the book “Crosseyed Puzzle”.

The Moment I Should Have Bounced
Ray Brown
About the Book
This book is parts of my life I examined to further clear any misconceptions on my behalf of how things could have been. I began writing this book while thinking back on the relationships and the many times I did not recognize my moment to bounce. I’ve learned life does not fit neatly in a box. Life experiences good or bad have a way of shaping you early on it can either make you strong or break you down. My upbringing in church, family, friends, and relationships all shaped my life for the better. Everyone needs to recognize their moment to bounce it’s always there just look for it.
